Shay Moree-Dew, LMT, LE
Senior VP of Operations
Shay has called the Low Country her home for over 35 years. When she is not at the Advanced Aesthetics Academy, you will most likely find her on the May River. With a Bachelor's degree in Sociology and a working background in business management, she decided to further her love of learning by seeking licensure in both Massage Therapy (15+ years) and Esthetics (7+years). And with that, found her true passion; managing all the various aspects of Spa industry.
She has opened and/or owned multiple spas in the area, maintained a thriving medical massage practice and held positions of leadership in several high- end luxury resort spas. We feel very honored and blessed she has joined our team.

Deann DiGenova
Cosmetology Instructor
DeAnn graduated from Tusco Beauty School in Dover, Ohio. She owned her own salon and sold it prior to her family's move to the low country in 2001. Skincare has been her primary focus as she worked in spas on the island. To share that knowledge with others, she worked for and received her instructor's license. As a mother of six, she appreciates the flexibility and opportunities offered with an esthetician's license to schedule appointments around a busy family's schedule. She brings over twenty years of experience and passion for the industry to share with students. "I feel fortunate to have a profession where I may help prepare future estheticians to be confident in what they do" Her desire for knowledge in this ever-changing skincare industry spurs her to stay informed and share it with the students. She brings an active understanding and strives to teach future estheticians how to critically think about each and every treatment they'll provide for their clients for optimal results.

Justin attended Miller-Motte Technical College located in Clarksville, TN in 2015, where he graduated from with a diploma in Massage Therapy. In 2016, Justin relocated to the Savannah, GA area. He has worked in several spa settings, as well as in a chiropractic clinic providing different modalities to clients over the last few years. In 2019, he graduated from Empire Beauty School and gained the title Master Cosmetologist, becoming dual licensed in the state of Georgia. Justin knew before he graduated massage school that he wanted to eventually teach massage to other, so he decided to share his passion for the field with others by becoming an instructor.

When he isn’t teaching, he can be found either working in his studio providing massage and hair services to his clients, or enjoying downtime with his family and friends.
